Black Pete must have been the only alternative band in Baltimore that wasn't included on this 1989 20-band sampler CD from Merkin Records:
- U. Violets - Gade (actually Ultra-Violets, must have been a legal issue that prevented them using the name on this CD)
- All Mighty Senators - Wink (band still active)
- Lambs Eat Ivy - Serpentine
- Bazooka Joe - Insomnia
- Dark Carnival - Back to the Factory
- Monkeyspank - Dr. Omar
- Jade - Line
- Lungfish - Return Descender
- The Pearl Fishers - Black Box (not the David Scott band)
- The Unknown - Empty House of Night
- Rise - God Bless the Creeps
- Elements of Design - I Love a Man with Rhythm
- The Last Picture Show - Destination (led by writer Louis Maistros as Lu Maestro)
- Braver Noise - The Smiths Have Gone to Heaven
- Seesaw - Rochelle Bridges
- Motor Morons - Another Girl (may still be active, though no shows since 2007; imagine Devo songs played by Einstürzende Neubauten)
- Mark Harp - The Drill (guitarist for Null Set/Cabal, also of the Beatoes, Motor Morons, Chelsea Graveyard, the Diamondheads, etc.)
- Infant Lunch - Cut the Cord
- Grey March - Beneath the Sea
- Reptile House - Turning Disease
There's quite a variety of musical styles here: punk, gothic, new wave, Springsteenian populist rock, funk, and more. Get the CD rip

Any chance you could reup this? It’s virtually impossible to find through conventional means.
